The holidays are winding down and I am getting ready to head back to the plantation. I am looking forward to my TSA experience tomorrow. (You folks have been a joy)

I am trying to relax and enjoy the down time but I can't. -Mrs. Field has this thing all figured out. She spends her days reading that damn LilKim or Kindle or whatever the hell they call those things and looking for shopping deals for the holidays. Me, not so much.

I am still busy watching and reading the news, and every cable news show, while I lament over the fate of A-merry-ca.

Some Somalian kid decides to live out his Osama bin Laden fantasy up in the great Northwest, and A-merry-cans, who are sick and tired of his kind; decide to torch his Mosque. Nice. A word to my Muslim friends up in Portland: you might want to consider a change of scenery.

And then there is the story coming out of Michigan. Three little boys missing and their daddy tried to hang himself. But wait, it gets better-or worse:

"Authorities said John Skelton claimed that he gave the boys to a female friend before he attempted suicide, but officers haven't been able to confirm whether the woman exists.The boys were last seen Thursday and reported missing the next day by their mother, Tanya Skelton, Weeks said. A family friend said the boys were with their father as part of court-ordered visitation and their parents were going through a divorce. " [Article]

Sadly, I am guessing that this woman only exists in the sick mind of this father. As someone who is somewhat familiar with family law and how the family court system works, I find this story to have a familiar ring to it. The little man in my head is telling me that there is going to be a very upset officer of the court who wrote that visitation and custody order for the Skeltons.

Finally, I swear some of you Negroes take this religion thing to the extreme. Did this Negro really blame god for dropping a crucial pass on Sunday?

"New York–It wasn’t his own hands or the Pittsburgh secondary Sunday that foiled Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson from hauling in what should have been the game-winning TD catch in the end zone.It was God.“I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!!” the 24-year-old tweeted from his iPad at around 5:15 Sunday after the Steelers’ 19-16 overtime victory. “AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO…”Johnson had a perfect pass in his hands that would have given his team an overtime victory over the heavily favored Steelers.

Instead of walking off the field the hero, however, he dropped it."

Yes, you dropped it. But don't blame god, he put you in the position to make the catch.

Still, you play for the Bills, so you might want to blame him for that.

"According to the FBI, they arrested Mohamud after he dialed a cellphone that he thought would detonate a huge bomb — six 55-gallon drums, diesel fuel and a large box of screws — in a large white van parked near the tree lighting."

"But the bomb was a fake built by the FBI, and the packed crowds who enjoyed a youth choir and a symphony orchestra at Friday's holiday celebration at Pioneer Courthouse Square were never in danger, authorities said."

Field I missed the Terry Gross post but I think you are on to something. For years the peace and justice movement has struggled with racism even in its ranks.

And no one should be surprised by racist liberals because they aren't really interested in real solutions to the problem of racism and inequality, they are more interested in "appearing" to be interested in fairness and justice.

Case in point; most liberals are for every child obtaining a quality education until they realize that would mean poorer children and children of color will then be able to compete with theirs.

I think Lerone Bennett wrote the classic work on this subject it was an essay entitled, "Tea, Sympathy and other White Liberals."

And MLK wrote his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," for liberals who were not opposed to blacks gaining civil rights but were opposed to the timing of it and they didn't want to be made uncomfortable by the struggle, nor were they interested in real sytemic change that would solve the problem.

I know I was late with my two cents but was having too much fun with the kids and grandkids last night.

“The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.” – Thomas Jefferson

Understand in the context, we have a system of agencies assigned with the job in CONVINCING people to do wrongs. They are equipped with a thoroughly researched/well funded/rehearsed process specifically targeting groups of YOUTH only to support a greater objective. It started with the Panthers.

You could not pay me anything to convince some kid to blow some ysh up. That is some evil thinking and we some ol tired hambones eat'n that ysh up. I don't see sting operations trying to convince unpopular 25-40 year old white men into committing acts of serial killings and cannibalism. If its unethical in that space it goes for anything else.

Pimp'n is not placing an employment ad in the paper. It is a complex psychological strategy. Yet on the domestic level the pimp will go to jail. OK so what about these agent provocateurs? Are they acting human?

WHY can't these well funded "crime fighters" use resources to build good citizens as oppose to creating bad one's like how they created CIA bad guy Laden, then turned around and used him as a welcome mat for imperialistic projects. Why couldn't they go into the Black Panthers and try to convince them to change philosophies as oppose to setting up violent shoot-outs and supporting drug use? Our government is suppose to protect us (so believes the contemporary jig) yet they spend time CREATING criminals. THAT. IS. SOME. EVIL. STUFF.

Isn't that a hint what takes place with foreign policies if this takes place with citizens?

If you google Valentine's Day Massacre I bet you'll be hard press to find the names of the four trigger men. You'll find plenty Al Capone though. OK if the criminalization of domestic masterminds is the principle, then the criminal government masterminds should be brought to justice as well.

That TV is poison.

It's OK to say it's God's Will but the test is if one is content with it. That was his test. For him belief is contingent on his ration of cake. I bet that hambone wouldn't say "dat ta da coach."

What a sad story about that misguided boy in Portland. Portland has NEVER been a place that was friendly to Blacks. Metzger had an Ethiopian immigrant murdered up there just twenty years ago. Those people were looking for an excuse to torch that mosque. And I feel sad for everyone involved with this.

The boys' eyes look like he's been brainwashed and or he is not well inside. I fear and pray for his family and thank God that he was caught before he could harm innocent American lives. This is a sad story all the way round.

While there are indeed many in the lunatic Islamic radical fringe that are dying to blow some things up and strike back at the country they perceive rightly or wrongly to be source of their countries and their religions woes, most of them are comfortably out of reach.

I was in Miami when the US government through the FBI and other agencies tried to convince a rag tag group of malcontents that they could indeed be terrorists. While the leader was a little nutty it turned out to be nothing more than anti American talk and the FBI set them up to talk to some one who supposedly had ties to Ben Laden. It took three trials to convict them with absolutely no evidence.

If anyone knows anything about Miami it doesn't take much for a jury of Cuban Americans to throw someone they deem to be anti-American in jail. And if they are black it takes even less.

But the gov't has been doing this kind of thing for awhile. They take advantage of these screwed up folks to make it appear that there is a real tangible terrorist threat from the Muslim population.

And it plays well as you can see by the Portland story. And Somalians have become a good foil for the propagandists these days, because the negative press about the country and its socalled ties to Al Queda make it easy for most to believe that their Somalian emigrees just might be up to no good.

Field I am not saying that there are no Muslims that would like to do bad things living in this ocuntry. For all I know there are some.

I am saying that for the most part all of the sensational cases have involved inept misguided folks with some anti-American sentiment which has been stirred into something much more lethal seeming.And at the end of the day posed little threat at all.

Gee Chee and Mell I'm feeling ya'll tonight. Dude's dad called the FBI to help him when he was 17 so they helped alright, put him in prison for the rest of his life. It's clear the new thing is to set up Black Muslims to satisfy the urge to make dem Mooslims pay. The anti-Islam movement ain't going nowhere and if we can combine it with the already present racism then all the better. These are the same fools that thought the New Black Panthers were a real story/threat. Sad.

Not the point anon. Once again we are conflating Islam with terrorism. This is the same type of thinking that leads to people who stereotype all Black people. If I start associating a group of people with the actions of a few then I'm no better than those that do it to me. Again, if you are the same anon from before stop exaggerating my opinoons, I am perfectly capable of expressing myself thankyouverymuch.BTW there are many threats to our well being such as texting while driving, I oppose that too.

Mellaneous, "If anyone knows anything about Miami it doesn't take much for a jury of Cuban Americans to throw someone they deem to be anti-American in jail. And if they are black it takes even less."

Well, we know if the Cubans were Mexican immigrants, Blacks would walk free because they are very grateful to Blacks for supporting them through these immigrating times.

Mell, I am surprised that you would make such a statement about the Cubans. Especially since Obama has donated all that money for the education of Hispanics.

Mell you had better be careful what you say about those Cubans... Scarface and his buddies might show up at your church one Sunday all coked out, and God only knows what might happen to your black ass.:)

Have you noticed that the White Residents have disappeared? It must be true. Obama and his black Obamaholics are not safe to be around.

Jody, Maria, RT, Brohammas, White Guy, and a few other so-called liberal Whites, have decided they don't want to be in the fields with you black liberal progressive 'losers.' Gee, that's too damn bad. Maybe now you will see the advantage of being Black in the GOP and consider crossing over to where the power is,- and black people are safe?:)

I will ask Rev Peterson and Rev Manning to pray for you(and Field too). They give powerful "healing" prayers.

PilotX, "Again, if you are the same anon from before stop exaggerating my opinoons, I am perfectly capable of expressing myself thankyouverymuch."

I don't exaggerate, I tell it like it is. You just can't handle the Truth. And where did you get the idea that you could express yourself well? If you are flying for United you are not capable of expressing yourself. I still will not fly United because YOU are one of those pilots who thinks it is not necessary to be worried when Muslims get on the plane.

You need to listen to Juan Williams. He laid out what everybody in America feels, except YOU of course.

"and A-merry-cans, who are sick and tired of his kind; decide to torch his Mosque. "

Unfucking real. Maybe some "A-merry-can" did torch that mosque - you don't know that. There is absolutely no evidence to say that. It's also possible someone at the mosque set a fire to deflect anger - not at all unlikely considering past incidents, how conveniently timed it was, and how little damage it did.

Maybe we should all wait to see who set the fire? Nah, that's unecessary when a story that fits your narrative makes itself avaialble.

Field, thanks for the photo of the Somalian. I have wondered what Somalian Muslims look like. Now I know. I will be keeping a look out obecause they are terrorist asses. If they aren't trying to pirate an innocent ship, they are trying to blow us up. They all need to go to prison cause they are dangerous.

That reminds me...We are going to need more prisons. But maybe not. I hear they will be releasing a lot of Hispanics from prison over the next two years. That will free up a lot of prison cells for Blacks. Hmmmmm. maybe we won't have to build any more prisons afterall?

PilotX, since you love terrorists so much, you can be the black Muslim Terrorist Greeter.

M. Rigmaiden said..."What a sad story about that misguided boy in Portland. Portland has NEVER been a place that was friendly to Blacks. Metzger had an Ethiopian immigrant murdered up there just twenty years ago. Those people were looking for an excuse to torch that mosque."

Somebody volunteers themselves to maim and murder hundreds, inlcuding children, at a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony (his idea by the way), and you feel sorry for him because he's black?

How sick is that?

And how do you know how that fire was set and who set it? You don't. At this point, the authorities have no idea who set the fire in the mosque, it could have been an infidel who was outraged by Mohamud's plot to murder thousands of Christians at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It could have been have been a Muslim who wanted to stoke fears of a "backlash." Does the truth matter?

Muslims have perpretrated dozens of terrorist attacks on Americans in America, and there has never been a concerted "backlash" waged against muslim Americans.

It is truly instructive how, when something like this happens, people like you and PilotX immediately side with the terrorist. I know who not to turn my back on.

Uh oh, the Latinos are beginning to make their move..LAA, besides changing your name, you had better brush up on your Spanish. The way things are shaping up there no Blacks will be allowed who doesn't speak Spanish....WITHOUT AN ACCENT. I think Ernesto is fucked.

"The little man in my head is telling me that there is going to be a very upset officer of the court who wrote that visitation and custody order for the Skeltons.'

Their mother is a registered/convicted child molester, but they were better off with her, imagine that. I'm sorry, but it really doesn't look good for those poor boys. The father is one sick SOB, I bet he did it to spite the mother, that's usually what sick SOBs who masquerade as fathers do. (I'm just a little revealed this one didn't blame the black boogie woman).

Field, who cares about terrorist and mosques, that guy and his eyebrow look was scaring the hell out of me.

Btw, most of those Somalians, Ethiopians and other North Africans DO NOT even consider themselves black. He's on his own.

OMG Anony, you better stop. It's not a good thing for me to start laughing hysterically before bed!

Don't worry about me, I'm good. I've been speaking Spanish from birth. That's why I know all about the nasty things most non-black Hispanics say about blacks! Hell, even the black ones don't seem to like blacks. LOL.

Yes Dink, please keep coming ack. Humor is always good. Especially when it is disguised as a serious comment.

"Field, thanks for the photo of the Somalian. I have wondered what Somalian Muslims look like. Now I know. I will be keeping a look out obecause they are terrorist asses. If they aren't trying to pirate an innocent ship, they are trying to blow us up. They all need to go to prison cause they are dangerous."

First they came for the Somalians; then they came for the Jamaicans...

It must be truly nice to be a white person in Amerikkka. They always know who the good guys are (WCMs) and who is bad, damn near everyone else. This sense of self importance is on full display here, the arrogance is astounding. At least Dink has the balls to make up a silly internet name while my current stalker is too paranoid because us Mooslim terrorists may figure out who he is and blow up his mom's trailer and leave him homeless. This is easy to figure out, watch a John Wayne movie, the white guy no matter what his motivations are is good and the injuns are bad no matter their motivations. In 2010 just switch the injuns to mooslims and now we have our newest bogeyman. No matter that the probability of me being killed by my fellow countryman is many times greater than me being killed by a mooslim tare-ist. Funny how my idea of not blaming an entire group for the actions of a few becomes me loving tare-ists. Dear god, is there one conservative out there that can think beyond a fifth grade level? Field, you seriously have to trade up for some better trolls.

From the link the Anony supplied: "Latino Democrats, on the other hand, wonder if their support [for Obama] is taken for granted. They express frustration and anger at the lack of movement on immigration and education reform in Washington. "

Now let's so how fast Obama rushes to get on this matter.. 5,4,3 DONE. LOL.

I would like to take this time to ask if there are any Mexican/Lations/non-black Hispanics reading this blog.

Since Latinos/Hispanics are going to be the new "white" in America, many of us smart black people are now considering about securing a Latino amigo "mi pana" to serve as an inside hook-up or liaison in this soon to be Amerrrrica. Particularly myself and perhaps the Anony.

Don't waste your time with Field, Mell and Steve'n'nem, those oddly complacent negroes will learn the hard way. They deserve all the Latino backlash they have coming to them. Steve will do the gardening.

Field, when I go Miami, I've learned to keep to myself or just speak English. When I speak Spanish, they assume I'm a Dominicana, they don't like them either. In fact, it's usually the Cuban/South American women in Miami who are the NASTIEST to me, not the men though.

But I'm sure the women there are so nice to Mell, which is why he seems to think the Hispanic population in Miami are so loving towards black people.

field negro said..."PilotX, come on now, you should know the good guys and the bad guys as well. The good guys are in white and the bad guys are in black. Don't you watch movies?"

What movies would those be, Field? Have you seen any movie in the last 15 years that showed the good guys in white fighting the evil muslims?

No, because there are none.

Instead, Hollywood has given us movie after movie that undermines any perception that maybe, just maybe we are the good guys and the suicide bombers are the bad guys. Movies like The Sum of All Fears, Live Free or Die Hard, The Kingdom, In the Valley of Elah, Rendition, Stop-Loss, Body of Lies and Redacted all either take a neutral, relatavistic stance or explicitly side with the jihadists.

What a sad story about that misguided boy in Portland. Portland has NEVER been a place that was friendly to Blacks. Metzger had an Ethiopian immigrant murdered up there just twenty years ago. Those people were looking for an excuse to torch that mosque.

A minor cannot choose to live where he or she wishes. Often, when parents reside in an all white community, their kids often will not have a fun school experience nor many friends. It can possibly damage a child's self-esteem. I understand this all too well having been though that experience.

That said, my parents instilled some sort of moral foundation and it would have never occured to me to blow up a group of people.

I hated living in the white community that my parents chose. You know what did? At age 18, I left!

No, not all Muslims are terrorists. I know all too well the downside of being stereotyped. This kid obviously was a terrorist. The enticement angle is irrelevant. If you don't want trouble or you don't want to be framed....don't put yourself in that situation. Maybe the folks at his mosque were religious terrorist wingnut. Who knows. Still, by that age, most people I knew perferred to think things through for theselves. Really, was he doing this for 72 virgins? He wasn't an ugly young man (who knows after the enhanced interrogators get with him...)he could have just went to college....or moved to a neighborhood where dating would be easier.

Immigration authorities are hardly fair in terms of which folks get a green card, citizenship or even a visa to travel or study in the US (from my personal experience). Why do they keep letting people from less than "friendly" nations immigrate? Is it to keep the nekked scaners on at LAX? Just saying....

OK I am now 100% convinced conservatives do not understand irony. My man Dink talks about Hollywood movies and ends his post "does reality even factor into what you post"? Oh gods, these people are funny.

PilotX, "It must be truly nice to be a white person in Amerikkka. They always know who the good guys are (WCMs) and who is bad, damn near everyone else. This sense of self importance is on full display here, the arrogance is astounding."

How many times do I have to tell your narrow-minded uncle remus ass that I am not White, I AM BLACK. GET IT? You must have a hell of a time trying to understand the instrument panel when you fly, let alone the attitude when landing. Do you ever land on the right runway?

PilotX-"Dear god, is there one conservative out there that can think beyond a fifth grade level? Field, you seriously have to trade up for some better trolls."

God doesn't answer to lovers of terrorists. Try dialing "Allah". Anons are not trolls, you fool. Without us, your no-flying ass would be short of people to talk to. Furthermore, the only thing Field needs to trade up to--is making sure he doesn't end up on United with YOU piloting the plane.

Hell, that in itself would be a form of terror. Field would need a colonoscophy after that flight.lol

But seriously Dink does show an example of what my original point was. "maybe just maybe we are the good guys and the suicide bombers are the bad guys". Who exactly are "we" and what exactly is good and bad? By we do you mean the U.S. and if so is it necessarily a good thing when some of "our" ordinance kills innocent civilians? Is it a bad thing when someone feels justified by killing those that killed his family and/or loved ones? Life is a bit more complicated than a cowboy movie. OK, I'll go so far as to agree that a suicide bomber is a bad person but whay praytell does that have to do with millions of peaceful Muslims many of whom live right here and are fellow 'mericans? Your turn Dink.

Sorry bout that anon, it sure is easy to not confuse some named anonymous with the other anonymouses. Hm, let's see a troll uses insults to distract posters from the topic at hand and start a back and forth flame session without adding any substance to the topic. Yeah I'd say you're a troll so I think I'll just call you troll unless of course you'd like to use some of that awesome intelligence to make up a name.

A bit more on Dink's post. In all of the movies he mentioned there was a WCM protaganist. In Hollywood today it seems the meme dujour is the helpless Western Asian who needs a WCM to clear his name. Of course we have the occasional Western Asian woman who runs into the street to cradle the head of a dead brown person and wail uncontrollably. So yes Dink H'wood does still participate in stereotypes. "Sum of All Fears"-Harrison Ford (well half Jewish so kinda WCM), "Live Free...."-Bruce Willis, "Kingdom"-Chris Cooper/Jason Bateman/Jamie Foxx, "Elah"-Tommy Lee Jones, "Rendition"-Jake Gyllenhaal, "Stop-Loss" Ryan Phillippe, "Body of Lies"-Leo DiCaprio, "Redacted"-Rob Devaney, Patrick Carroll. Bunch of WCMSs is you ask me. Long live John Wayne!

PilotX said (seriously, he did)..." Who exactly are "we" and what exactly is good and bad?"

Only someone deeply immersed in moonbat liberalism could be so confused.

"We" would be Americans. "Bad" is planning to blow up innocent women and children at a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. "Good" would be arresting people who would be capable of committing such an act.

The U.S. does not target innocent civilians.

PilotX: "whay praytell does that have to do with millions of peaceful Muslims many of whom live right here and are fellow 'mericans?"

Dink --"The US does not target innocent civilians" It doesn't matter if they target them or not they have killed thousands of so-called innocent civilians. And there have been stories told by soldiers esp in Iraq of servicemen doing just that, targeting innocent civilians just in case they aren't so innocent.

REally though try telling that to the relatives of the guests at the wedding parties that have been blown to bits in Afghanistan, or the relatives of the Iraqis that have been shot to death just trying to get home or to the hospital. Or try telling that to the relatives of those innocent folks that the US has admitted killing while trying to assasinate without trial members of the Taliban in Pakistan.

You feel me PilotX? These corny hambones not getting it. They remind me of my rottweiler I use to have. I'd train him to direct aggression towards anything I'd signal as a potential threat. He'd immediately go into defense mode. That was his job. To be an unthinking guard. He could care less about the "what" or the "why." He was to obey, have knee jerk reactions, respond to triggers.

PilotX, you can't argue with Pavlov products.

Clods don't think...they just clod.

They memorize Pentagon teleprompter script. Straight up living in King Friay's world with no trolley to get back. They don't know why we fought Vietnam and lost.

Well black anon there have been lots of terrorists that have hoped God answered to them beginning with the Inquisitors and the Crusaders.

But here in the good old USA the population has terrorized all others from Indians to Blacks to Japanese, to Chinese,to Mexicans, women and gays and those terrorists (yes I know they were Americans) and their heirs seem to think that God was smiling on them.

Even today while quietly agreeing or giving tacit support to all heinous crap that Rome does (this government), they (believers in Christ) still believe that their prayers and their misplaced piety reaches beyond the ceiling.

For the sake of lots of Christians I hope you are wrong and that God does indeed "answer to lovers of terrorism."

Field, "and A-merry-cans, who are sick and tired of his kind; decide to torch his Mosque."

Mr. Field, I am very disappointed that you would think some home grown A-merry-can would set fire to a mosque. We are a God-fearing peaceful bunch of people. It would be a sin to do something like that.

It's the terrorists and their Muslim supporters who probably torched that Mosque. A-merry-cans would never do such a thing.

I for one am glad there are still complex thinkers like Gee, Mell and Field around to discuss topics beyond the obvious 'merican brainwashing. As Mell so insightfully alluded to our resident Black anon should well remember our own demonization at the hands of those who were beyond question in their rightness. As a liberal I oppose all forms of violence as it is the lowest level of expression so it is almost silly to accuse me of loving tare-ists. We were the "them" before we were replaced by the bogeyman dujour. We do oursleves no favors by allowing others to stereotype any group and paint them as bad while seeing everything they do as good and pure. We've seen that scene played out and it doesn't end well. I guess you can get rid of a hangnail by cutting off your arm but it's still kinda silly.@Gee, I still hold out hope that one day I will be able to have a decent conversation with a conservative but I guess I need to remember the definition of insanity.

And let me clarify what I meant when I was talking about the Cubans in Miami.

I have met and still know some really cool Cubans. But what I was referring to is that the majority of Cuban Americans are conservative, some extremely so. Thats what I was referring to when I was pointing out that anyone going before a jury of mainly Cubans about anything that smells of Anti-Americanism is going to be in for a rough ride.

The Liberty City 7 case involving fake black terrorists propped up by the FBI took 3 trials to convict and my point was you know the case had to be weak because these folks have a tendency to side with the government, no matter what.

But anyway the Mexicans or Cubans may have their prejudices but they don't hold state power in this country so what they can do to hurt other folks is limited, of course with the exception of Miami.

But Latinos in some other places have bonded with Black folks in some struggles. But it is what it is, some are definitely racist but you have to deal with them all as individuals, like any other people.

LAA said- "Btw, most of those Somalians, Ethiopians and other North Africans DO NOT even consider themselves black. He's on his own."

LAA you may have a point in fact you are right to some extent. Some of our African brothers and sisters think they are a cut above and some don't think of themselves as black.

But thats the beauty of police brutality and racial profiling and discrimination in the work place it reminds them of just where they fit in US society.lol

So LAA we can accept that things are just the way they are or we can reach across the aisle and try to extend a hand and reach out to those who want to work together and in unity around issues that effect us all.

I guess one of the benefits of being a real live activist is that you get to try these things and you get to see that sometimes you can reach across the aisle and sometimes it actually works.

I have worked with other cultures in united actions around labor issues, racism, cop brutality especially, and have seen folks change their attitudes.

Sometimes they (immigrants) are operating with the same bad information, propaganda and stereotypes that the native population is working with.

And I have heard from several immigrants from different countries that immigration agents have told them racist stories about black folks. I have a freind who told me that he was directly told to stay away from American blacks.

Feel ya Mell, it's all about experience. The history of this planet is trying to convince each other that "they" aren't like us somehow. When I visited the motherland a few years ago I kept hearing about how "they" don't like "us" and how horrible it would be but I went anyway and guess what? I am sterotyped daily but when people meet me I defy many of the images some have of me. Same thing when it comes to Muslim nations, I'm warned "they" hate me and will try to kill me but as of yet haven't had a bad experience and it's always funny that the people warning me of such hatred and fear have usually never travelled beyond their own nation's border and don't even know any people in the group I'm supposed to be afraid of. Damn, if we didn't learn from the Japanese internment camps when will we learn and what will it take?

Mell, you're dealing with people who regularly say things like "Palin would make a good president" so what do you expect? We live in a world in which it's ok to live in a right winged bubble and accuse those that seek truth as living in the bubble. Facts are facts and the facts are that America is the most violent country on the planet and more women are raped here than in any third world dictatorship that is at war. That's sad but true, 1 in 4 college women will be raped but hey as long as it's not done by a mooslim it's ok I guess. Funny, more people will be killed here in Chicago than soldiers in Iraq/Afganistan by tare-ists. Am I making a moral judgement on any country? No,just stating facts and conservatives hate facts. Well they do love made up Fox news facts but those don't count in the real world. Dink would rather name call like his shero Palin than show and facts and prove us wrong.

Brother Field... the Brother that dropped the pass may have to question his faith in God in regards to the bigger sceme of life. With all the true misery around...there are more questions he could as. Living in America..I find it disheartening that all these super educated officers of the FBI would dunce this "darky Arab" (not my term) that not only young and disallussion..but had not the ability to further his s call fantasy. He did not have money to even buy the 9-volts batteries. For 6 months you "wined and dined" this broke kid. At what point was his desires a conspiracy. The first meeting could have legally been a conspiracy. Arrest him then. You would save the taxpayers thousands of dollars...but then you (FBI) would not be the "WHITE Knight" to the rescue. "darky Arab" term that used by the racist Arabs- they do have a strong caste system. His racial looks will make it a "wash" for an American jury. Makes me wonder why most of these homegrown terroist have that "colored guy" look.

actually LAA is REALLY right. they don't think they are a cut above black, they will vehemently tell you and others they are NOT black. you wanna be starting something just go there one good time with one of them. i say one because unless you have backup in tow, telling a few might not work out so well for you. LOL. ask me how i know?

learned that armenians don't take too kindly to not being considered white the hard way too.

also learned that there has been a recently circulated memo, apparently, declaring mexicans better than black. you haven't seen hilarity until you peep the expressions when outright asked WHEN that happened? that too, is a one on one exercise. lol. she was only half mexican so i had it covered. there was more black present than mexican. lol. ok, i WILL stop. lol. you get the point though.

LA, i have been over checking out this 25 yr old bw that is not playing. she makes ME the most politically correct person on the planet. i get to curse profusely vicariously through her, too. lol. baby girl is making it plain though over at her house. i am proud of this new crop of bw that i am seeing on and offline. uh, its about to get REAL interesting...to say the least. recognizing the game+no oow babies with white/blue collar/pookie nem knuckleheads...yep...interesting.

as far as i am concerned there is no bw vs bm. it is bw for bw instead of bw for bm and everyone else that needs support without any type of reciprocity. finally! additionally i don't think telling the truth as understood is to be against anyone. it is just telling the truth. kind of like when bm speak of racism in those valid cases. are they against wm? i don't think so. i think it is more speaking the truth against those detrimental practices that negatively impact the quality of their lives. see?

and give it a post or two when that good 'ole sexism and bw bashing starts up again and it should be real clear real fast for you. if you can't wait just check out some of the previous posts to get familiar.

as it relates to my last comment, i came back because it occurred to me that i should clarify that i don't mean ALL somalians/ethiopians, or ALL armenians or ALL mexicans. i have not met ALL of anybody. i am simply commenting on a hard to miss trend among the ones that i have met.

ok...not sure if these groups have "not all crews" as well...so let me be clear.

I've stood back these past few days just looking onward. I don't know if it's just apathy or if I've fallen in to some sort of depressi.....never mind. I just feel so damn disinterested in commenting here I don't know what to do.

"Once again we are conflating Islam with terrorism. This is the same type of thinking that leads to people who stereotype all Black people."

Whenever you point out to some of these pinhead righties that prior to 9/11 most of the terrorism on American soil (Oklahoma City, the Atlanta Olympics, the anthrax envelopes, Ted Kascynski, bombed abortion clinics) were Christian white men but somehow Christian white men were never profiled or stigmatized, they go ballistic.

Before 9/11? You mean in your little wiberal sphere of reference dont ya? Cause there sure were terrorist attacks on americans waaaayyyyy before 9/11.

Conflating Islam with terrorism. Have you ever read the koran or listened to what they say? Or do you speak solely out of your ass?

Now. Lets try this one last time. Why is it whenever there is a MUSLIM ISLAM related terrorist attack on AMERICANS (I assume you are one) the ONLY thing you can talk about is gathering each and every US terror attack over the last 25 years? I didnt count, but would daresay this is less then a handuful. What about the one that actually occurred?

Do you think the isolated nutjobs are comparable to the Religion of "peace" that TEACHES and advocates killing of infidels, is even comparable in your lefty non logical brain? Really? Why?

McVeigh was 15 years ago and indubitably raised in a leftist/strong union househould.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud, was sponsored by a christian organization to get a better way of life out of his wonderful home country of Somalia and after getting charged with date rape, decided he wanted to be a devout muslim and started acting out and seeking ways to kill infidels so he could be one with his religion.

So, Mr pinhead. As an American, do you sanction this by bringing up nutjobs and not saying one fucking thing about the terrorist as if you agree with him? Who is the pinhead? What do you think will happen to Black people if Islam is successfully spread in the U.S and no, not the fake I ocnverted in prison Islam where they don't eat pork and it is ok as Allah said to lie, cheat, steal, kill the infidels (fellow americans) but real Sharia law.

Which one Mr Pinhead do you want for America? And no, this time you can't sit on the fence. You have to choose. American way of life that you are part of, have influence on and can shape. Or Islamic. Choose wisely for you will not be accepted on both sides. Well, in fact under true Islam you wouldn't even be human and womens existance would be less then simply serving as meat here for a mans use. Isn't that ironic and pin-headish.

"The U.S. does not target innocent civilians". Of course I could be wrong but I'm betting there are a few Japanese citizens that may disagree."

PilotX, they probably would if they weren't all dead. :(

"Which one Mr Pinhead do you want for America? And no, this time you can't sit on the fence. You have to choose. American way of life that you are part of, have influence on and can shape. Or Islamic. Choose wisely for you will not be accepted on both sides."

Unless Mr. Pinhead is very wealthy, there is probably not much of a chance that he could shape A-merry-can life. Just saying. But that was a false choice between the two. I think if I sit on the fence I will be just fine.

Hang in there Mack. Don't let the negative stuff in life get you down. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to talk.

"Conflating Islam with terrorism. Have you ever read the koran or listened to what they say?"

No but I have read the Bible.

"At God's command, the Israelites made war on Midian, slew all the men, and burned their cities.[22] Moses was angry, however, because they had spared the women and children.

So he ordered the soldiers to "kill every male dependent, and kill every woman who has had intercourse with a man, but spare for yourselves every woman among them who has not had intercourse."[23] Shortly thereafter, God gave Moses instructions for distributing the captive virgins among the fighting men and the community.[24]

The prophet Samuel gave Saul these instructions from the Lord: "Go now and fall upon the Amalekites and destroy them. . . . Spare no one; put them all to death, men and women, children and babes in arms, herds and flocks, camels and asses."[25]

Isaiah reports that on the day of the Lord's anger against Babylon: "All who are found will be stabbed, all who are taken will fall by the sword; their infants will be dashed to the ground before their eyes. . . ."[26]

Ezekiel claims that God appointed men to punish Jerusalem for its "abominations." The Lord told them to "kill without pity; spare no one. Kill and destroy them all, old men and young, girls, little children and women. . . ."[27]

In the book of II Chronicles, there is another report of the Lord's anger breaking out against Jerusalem. This time he "brought against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to the sword . . . and spared neither young man nor maiden, neither the old."

Focused Purpose if you read my post I acknowledged and agreed with LAA for the most part that some folks do think they are better and some may not think they are black.

But it is their confusion not mine. My point was so if they are going to act silly should we who know better act silly as well.

There is nothing we can do about folks who don't want to participate in solidarity efforts.

So my point is that you work with those who are interested in working together, thus not assuming that all of any group --especially immigrant blacks who are considered black by the general population even if they themselves think otherwise-- are backwards.

I also pointed out that in my experience I have seen both forward thinking folks and backward thinking folks. And I have worked in solidarity with immigrant groups around issues that benefited us all. And in every instance it helped wipe away some of the suspicions and mistrust and helped immigrants understand that we have the same struggle and that we are all at bottom just workers.

It only serves the interest of the ruling rich to continue to cultivate these divisions and schism.

Thus the mature among us must wade through the fake identity and mislead and misguided prejudice and lead the way.

And yes I have encountered Ethiopians as well and worked with them as well in cooperation.

"But here in the good old USA the population has terrorized all others from Indians to Blacks to Japanese, to Chinese,to Mexicans, women and gays and those terrorists (yes I know they were Americans) and their heirs seem to think that God was smiling on them."

Mell, what if I told you that I have been trying to date an Ethiopian for months, and it is harder than getting a date with a ww from MS?

What say you about that? Face it, Mell..there aren't a lot of souls waiting to incarnate on Earth as a Black American. And when you run across folks with empty heads like UTS, it's no wonder.

Of course, I can tell by your defense of all other races like the Mexicans that you love them all. FYI: Mexicans don't even care for Latinos, let alone Blacks. Hell, they don't even like some of their darker Mexicans.

Touche' Uptown touche' and all that violence has been used to justify Christian violence.

And ironically there is evidence that the Hebrews didn't commit all that butchery as they said. They were writing centuries after these supposed events and was trying to make the point that the land of Isreal was there because for all practical purposes they had wiped out everybody in the land.

It didn't happen but it served the interests of the Hebrews and their religion well.

Well at least it's not boring up in here. @salami Christians make up what 70% of the population of this country while Muslims are what less than 5%? If you think that we are in ANY danger of being taken over by the evil Mooslims then I have some land to sell ya, and it's Mooslim free if you're concerned. I guess you didn't see my earlier link that showed how improbable it is to be a victim of a terrorist act but wehy let facts get in the way of a good conservative/right winged rant huh? @FP, I think we see what we are focused on. If you want to see a division among us you will find it just like our favorite porn. From my experience with foreigners most of the hatred is because most 'mericans are arrogant and look at others as inferior so of course out of self interest they will not take a liking to us. How many good 'mericans do you think ask Ethiopians/Somalians dumb assed questions. If I were them I wouldn;t like many of ya'll either;-)

"Conflating Islam with terrorism. Have you ever read the koran or listened to what they say?"

No but I have read the Bible.

"At God's command, the Israelites made war on Midian, slew all the men, and burned their cities.[22] Moses was angry, however, because they had spared the women and children.

Immediate discussion ender. Of course someone as intelligent as you knows that Christians today dont live in the 4 century and that Islamic Purists DO!!!!

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you offer these silly idiotic non reality based talking points? Maybe thats it, you don't.

By the way, Report: Portland Christmas Bomber Was Recruited by al-Qaeda Operative in the US, Not The FBI, Says He Wasn’t The Only One…

Mohamed Osman Mohamud – the teenage terror suspect arrested by the FBI last week after he attempted to detonate a truck bomb in Portland – apparently was recruited by an unidentified terrorist operative active in the United States http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/portland-terror-suspect-recruited-uniden

"So my point is that you work with those who are interested in working together"

WHERE in history have you noticed this happening with black folks actually coming up, with black folks' interest FIRST as a result of all this "working together"?

there seems to be a tendency for black folks to THINK they are "working with" others, when in reality blacks are the battering rams to open the door for others. the OTHERS rush in and promptly SLAM the door, barring the bloodied blacks that were the tools used to open the door for them. which quite frankly is what blacks DESERVE for forever trying to make themselves dependent on others. the fact the folks are STILL despite SO MANY examples of this thinking being flawed, preaching this malarky is PROOF that folks will get what their hands calls for.

WHAT is it in bm that makes them think they need so much dang help?! WHY does the convo KEEP coming back to the whole WORKING TOGETHER kumbayah thingy? black folks would do WELL to learn to do for self and select carefully vetted, proven, allies AFTER.

in fact, THAT whole "working together" game is the same one quite a few bm stay trying to play on bw. uh, time out. it hasn't worked outside of black folks and if more bw would be courageous enough to tell it... it MOST DEFINITELY hasn't worked for bw and bchildren. foolish bw fall for the "working together" okey doke only to be slapped silly and mercilessly by sexism. come on now. and frankly, if one refuses to protect their own interests, WHY would they EXPECT someone else to?

i can appreciate you are a man of faith. however, i am going to need you to apply some of that good 'ole DISCERNMENT and FAITH (the kind that comes with WORKS, so that it isn't DEAD) in order for me to co sign. what are blacks doing FOR THEMSELVES? is it working? if it is...THEN... let's talk about some type of partnership. even when speaking of INDIVIDUALS folks can understand that a messy, not together individual is living in a fantasy world to expect a got it together, going places individual to partner with them on ANYTHING. how much more so is this the truth with groups of people. i am not making this stuff up. i am just paying attention.

the negroes running around wanting to link arms with folks with a LONG HISTORY of mistreating bfolks are going to need to MISS ME with their (il)logic. at the very least, not expect me to quietly go along to get along, as it is not happening and i am not sorry about either.

those bfolks running around advocating for others before getting it together for bfolks (which will keep them TOO busy to advocate for others at this point in history) look like fools. and folks tend to bump their heads as a result. see a fool, bump his head. look. see, the knots ALL OVER black folks' heads. which is why obamessiah's stitched up lip is SYMBOLIC. lol. LAA-er Consuela, you crack me up!

uts, IF you are african american, your very existence is PROOF POSITIVE that all the junk folks like to talk about bw is A LIE. IF you would read m scott peck's, "people of the lie" you will learn that devilish folks will lie to you and KNOW they are lying, to get you to believe and act according to the lie that serves THEIR purpose and promotes THEIR interests. maybe THEN you could stop acting like a klansman as it relates to bw? i am NOT holding my breath. lol.

globally bfolks are behaving as though they REALLY believe they are inferior. DESPITE being THE FIRST people and civilization.

white supremacy has mangled your pitifully inadequate brains to the point that you are incapable of recognizing truth. if you could go sit quietly, folks would mistake you for a philosopher. BUT NO! you INSIST on making noise so folks have no choice but to acknowledge what a blithering idiot you are.

black has ALWAYS been cool. and not just for the males my dear. which is why this newer push to make black=criminality/amorality is NOT the business. THE ONLY ones that don't recognize are negroes like yourself; both the males AND females. THIS is also why OTHERS end up with your birthright WORLD WIDE. IF they can get you to devalue it, they can claim it with greater ease.

fools like you are waiting for others to tell you the truth about who you and the womenfolk that birth you are. SURELY you have noticed all the ww running around doing their best to look like pale bw. THEY know. YOU will learn. and the females running around doing their best ww impression are your brain mangled counterpart. desperately they want to appeal to what you OBVIOUSLY want in your broken, dominated, damaged, conquered state. ever notice that only bm like you are looking for the whitest/most white-like bw they can find? lol. it is a damaged bm phenomena. wm that want a ww...get a ww. lol.

bw pretending that they didn't notice other men of the planet...the more dominant ones no less...was to spare the little feelings of males like you. those days are numbered. IF you live long enough to see it fully come to pass, remember i told you. lol. so enjoy your black wife and ww harem and try not to fret too much. and again, i thank you for your contributions to waking more bw up.

and just so you know, i am fully aware that all the junk you talk about bw, you don't even believe. you hateful negroes know you would have washed away in the laundry IF it were not for the bw you publicly disrespect at every turn. not to mention how much MORE than their share bw do once your behinds actually make it to the planet.

you know the daughters of bm ARE desirable and in your perverted, twisted, dominated state you think the only way you will be able to maintain THE ONLY thing bm control on the PLANET (bw and their resources) is by attempting to render us UNdesirable to the more dominant men of the world. because YOU know that if you and those like you, have to stand up and compete as MEN, coming to the table with MORE than an appetite and similar MELANIN,you LOSE. go sit down sicko! i.see.you.

ok. i had to let that one rip. uts is a little too brazen to be so woefully UNqualified to speak.

AB, uncle ruckus plucked the nerve one time too many. lol. yes, i notice his routine jig even as i deliberately ignore him. he got that attention he seeks. finally.

"you know the daughters of bm ARE desirable and in your perverted, twisted, dominated state you think the only way you will be able to maintain THE ONLY thing bm control on the PLANET (bw and their resources) is by attempting to render us UNdesirable to the more dominant men of the world. because YOU know that if you and those like you, have to stand up and compete as MEN, coming to the table with MORE than an appetite and similar MELANIN,you LOSE. go sit down sicko! i.see.you."

amen!!!

karmic kick in the face with FAR more to come...a la ronny raygun up to the door of death!!!!

"What a sad story about that misguided boy in Portland. Portland has NEVER been a place that was friendly to Blacks. Metzger had an Ethiopian immigrant murdered up there just twenty years ago. Those people were looking for an excuse to torch that mosque."------------------------bullshit on all counts. A black man was murdered in Portland TWENTY years ago and you blame the whole city today? Funny, black folks are killing each other left and right every DAY in America and Africa but you don't profile YOURSELVES over it. If some white guy is killed by blacks in Washingto DC you don't say "Washingtn DC have NEVER been a place that has been friendly towards white. A white person was murdered there blacks 20 SECONDS ago. As far as your claim "those people" were looking for an excuse to burn down the mosque. You're claiming the whole white race of Portland did it? If it is okay to say "those people" burned down the mosque, it is equallt okay to refer to Muslims as "those people" who are trying to kill the infidel left and right. A dozen black kids stomped to death an elderly man a week ago. If I referred to them as "those people" you'd loose you're nappy head.

Just yesterday in Portland a 92 year old man who uses a walker was mugged by two black males. And last year 7 black males mugged a 90 year old couple who were siting in a Portland McDonalds eatting their meal. Gee I guess those black citizens of Portland are equally unfreindly. The differences is you have to go back 20 years to dig up something horrible whites did to blacks. I only have to go back 12 hours to dig up something horrible blacks did to whites

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
